Hey Guys! Never one to shy away from trying something new. Here’s my first attempt writing poetry since elementary school. Hope you enjoy it.
O cruel cruel love
Haunting my days and nights
Robber of sleep
Sower of desire
Temptress of the unattainable
**********
Mockingly reminding me of
His fiery touch on cool skin
Melting into his loving embrace
The breathless whisper of I love you
**********
Unable to endure love’s cruelty
I looked upward and pleaded with the morning sky
Please tell me your secret
How do you say goodbye each night to your stars
Tenderly the morning sky answered
Because I know the stars will always be waiting for me
**********
Not satisfied
I swam out into the ocean’s depth and pleaded
Please tell me your secret
How do you watch the seashore embrace your waves
Tenderly the ocean answered
Because I know the waves will always return to me
**********
Unconvinced
I pounded the keys of the piano and pleaded
Please tell me your secret
How do you allow anyone to play your beautiful music
Tenderly the piano answered
Because I know the music will always be played just for me
**********
As I sat down with pen in hand
To record what I had learned
I realized what I once saw as love’s cruelty
Is truly love’s beauty
**********
Trusting another so completely
That one is confident
Neither time, distance, nor the affection of others
Will ever replace you in the heart of your true love.
**********
O beautiful beautiful love!
Thanks for listening to my voice! Feel free to like and share it with your friends.
Have a great day! Rita
Be the VOICE heard amidst the deafening sound of sameness!
